No mention about safari or does that fall into the "catch all" browser category. Well it's good to hear that people are making the right choices. If IE was a good product, then I wouldn't bash it ... but it is, and I am.

For windows, Firefox is much better than IE: Hands down.

Even in .1 (not 1.0) it was more enjoyable to use than IE, it's all about experience i say.. if u have a good experience with a piece of software, you'll stick with it, like i have with firefox

I'm not sure, but I suspect it does get thrown in that catch-all category, since it uses a different rendering engine from WinIE, MacIE, and Gecko (Netscape-based browsers).

I think it has to be since firefox is among the highest none IE browsers out there and since 93% of the people are using IE that pretty much means a large number of Apple users are using IE along with Linus users. Firefox got a large number across all 3 OS of the alternitve browsers. And the firefox uses on the mac are moore taking away from Sarfia users than mac IE users
